I love this little dear until my heart feels like it might burst.
Encircled
Sort of how the land wraps around your soul—
I have been trying for a very long time to live here. Life is not ready to let me go. So I walk through each day until I am free.
It was all so far away—there was quiet and an untouched feel to the country and I could work as I pleased.

Sometimes I wish I was a flower—
oh to live my days
absorbing sun
and water,
swaying alongside the breeze,
unafraid
a bee lands upon my petals,
I burst into bloom
yet remain stationary.
